NOSTALGIC PLATES AND DATES

Downstairs

Entering Downstairs in Smithfield is like being transported back to your high school best friend’ s basement, but better. Eccentric tchotchkes, from Super Mario figurines to Gremlin dolls, line every available inch, accompanied by a mix of sleek high tops, cozy booths and funky furniture. Indulge in a few rounds of pinball or Sega Strike Fighter while you wait for your meal. Dishes feature unique twists on late night favorites, like the Lyons Celtic nachos with potato rings instead of chips, or a beef patty topped with a sweet slice of pineapple. Wash it all down with a fruity Pocket Rocket cocktail. 55 Douglas Pike, Smithfield, 282-9701, instagram. com / downstairsri
